  • Title: [Management of renal failure in old patients undergoing percutaneous cardiac interventions].
    Author: Aubry P, Demian H.
    Journal: Ann Cardiol Angeiol (Paris); 2018 Dec; 67(6):466-473. PubMed ID: 30384963.
    Abstract:
    The elderly benefit from the advances of the interventional cardiology, especially for coronary artery disease and aortic valve stenosis. The prevalence of comorbidities is high in old population, but the benefit-risk balance remains often positive. Chronic kidney disease is frequent and amplifies the risks of contrast-induced nephropathy and acute kidney injury with an impact on clinical course and outcomes, and additional costs. Preventive strategies recognized as efficient to limit renal adverse events must be applied. Future approach may involve research in vulnerable old patients undergoing cardiac interventions.
